I am guessing since it is Tues you have already taken he amp in but if you haven't ...Checked all fuses? there are some inside too. the switch does go bad on these and many people just use the surge protector for on off. the one on the b460 is on 24x7 no hot cold hot cold etc issue for it and no switch wearing out. The one upstairs is on a surge protector and is rarely used
Have you tried any Dalquist speakers yet?

well I'd been looking at the top of the Adcom and it looked like a combo of philips screws and rivets....so got out my trusty Harbor Freight security bit set and found one to open the top....4 fuses in there , one on each card....2 were blown , replaced them, turned off power switch and plugged in....power light is ON tho wont turn off in either position...will hook it up to cheap speakers tomorrow....PROGRESS

(Doug -my tech- went camping with his family...imagine him abandoning me in my hour of tech need ) he'll be back Wednesday.

I had 1 Dahlquest that got parted out...drivers were beautiful, cab very well made,,never got to hear it...but quality construction.

did the fuses blow after install? i believe they are 7 amp?? anything look or smaell burned?

Did you check prices on the new retro amps, 1299 list, as cheap as 870 but also selling for list (or at least some stores are charging list). Seemaexpensive for what it is, competes w/5500 model, doesn't make sense to me. but in a few years someone will sell like it was original for cheap and hopefully you can make a safari there..

Think center channel for 250TIs; (2) 108s, a 104 and a 44ti, now what?

Funny Day

so I set out on the bike for Gresham (the 20 mile loop)..garage sales everywhere, I stop at the first......there is a beautiful condition Trek 730 Multitrack (Made in USA) bike...straight and clean...they want $25...I told em that if still there on the way home..I'd take it....went another half mile and started thinking "it wont be there later" ...turned around , found the sale again and asked them to hold it 20 minutes..came back in the truck and offered 23 ...Wow, they had to have a family meeting and big discussion to give me 2 bux off..
So I take it home, the phone rings...a guy who bought a bunch of foams last week...at that time he had asked me what speakers I like ...replied JBL, of course. he says "bought my first JBL's and I need foams", so he comes over and buys $22 worth of foams & caps ...now I'm only out a buck on the TRek.

So we go to his car to look at his new JBL.....L65a's ..beautiful condition with grills,glass tops, black felt stuff and even logos...he just picked them at a garage sale....on his first visit,,,he turned them DOWN for $25, went to the library and looked them up on the web, then went back and bought them for $15.

Feeling bummed at a novice grabbing a deal like that ..I took off on the bike...first GS I stopped at there were a pristine pair of AR4x's for $2, but it was half price hour... , so $1

Got to the thrift and someone had just dumped their vinyl collection ...in pristine condition, I got

I agree with you, completely! This thread is always interesting, informative, and educational! And, like you, I love hearing of SeaWolf's successes at this never-ending journey!! Great stuff!! Please keep it up SW, and may it long continue! Take care, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc (who has your kind of luck, when I go out looking for backpacking stoves! Around 450+ of the little devils, to date, and still adding to my collection. Oldest one is from 1872, and it still works like a champ!)

Reason: an "oops"...

The only thing that can never be taken away from you, is your honor. Cherish it, in yourself, and in others.

I like them

Medical care is free the rest of my life and most of my income is tax exempt, (tho I'd trade it for a good ankle) so I get to play with toys that were only a dream most of my life..(but I'm still cheap - A "Penthouse Pauper" the OL says) -sorry, old CCR song-

So how do them Horizons sound ???

After reading enough from our esteemed members with them, I knew they would be an improvement on the L100's. Cranked them up and they are not as forward as the L100's, nor as boomy. Tighter bass. More accurate and pleasing. I don't have any real profound remarks, just your run of the mill audio dialect regurgitation. I'm taking in some Gary Jules' 'Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets'. Nice.

picked this up today....seem to be rather rare .. eBay likes them
the meter is for rotation speed and when the meter is ON, the strobe goes OFF...recommended to me by a forum member..who says he can hear the diff with strobe off...
